Mounts Leirhnukr and Krabla, in the northeast, are very formidable; and one of the most terrible eruptions recorded in the island annals was that of the Skapta Jokul in 1783. We have now completed our summary of Madame Pfeiffer's Icelandic excursions.
SNAEFELL JOKUL White occulting light withdrawn for winter. PATAGONIA No summer light south Cape Pilar. This includes Staten Island and Port Stanley. MALAYAN ARCHIPELAGO Lights unreliable owing eruptions. Lay from Cape Somerset to Singapore direct, keeping highest levels. Casualties Week ending Dec. 18th.
Some of the rocks thus transported are of immense weight, and the torrent is powerless to move them; year by year, therefore, the jumbled heap of boulders and rocks is added to until it often grows to an enormous size. Another fine snowfield in the Hardanger district is the Jökul, a splendid white dome, whose melting snows help to swell the Vöringfos.
From one desert valley we passed into another; all were alike covered with light-grey or yellowish lava, and at intervals also with fine sand, in which the horses sunk deeply at every step. The mountains surrounding these valleys were none of the highest, and it was seldom that a jokul or glacier shone forth from among them.
